Would be great to have the opportunity to meet up with other Chrysler boaters next year either in the San Juans or the Gulf Islands. I plan on being there in June 2015. How about it? Seems that there are more than a few in the area.

Was in the parking lot decanting all of the boxed items into my plastic storage containers when a store employee informed me I could not place the packaging in their trash bin. I was around back using a recycling container at the time. it worked out O...

a happy first mate
I do not have a first mate, I have an admiral. A willing partner in cruising, day sailing and she has always let me know what she needs to be comfortable. Read all of the books on cruising couples and how to make it more comfortable. None of them were as important as starting slow and working into c...

san Juans
Depends upon weather want to anchor, grab a buoy or dock at a marina.in my experience a buoy after noon is chancy, anchoring is always my goal although might have to row a bit to get to shore. I avoid marinas like the plague. Inside has less weather but more boats (although a southerly can roar up w...

Winter Cove
The hulk is not there anymore. No sign this year. In 2008 the spars were floating in the cove. You missed the yearly lamb fest and 125 boats anchored in the cove for Canada Day. Went through boat pass this year and down to Tumbo island for the night before heading to Roche. Another favorite place fo...

Since I posted talked to a full keeled Catalina 25 skipper. He uses a single nonturning wheel on a fork attached to a pivoting anchor on the tongue. Uses a 8000# tow strap to lower and retrieve the trailer/boat. Need to stop on the ramp, block the trailer tires and attach the strap and tire. Pull fo...

Chrysler 26 launching
Posted this in the trailering area and got no replies. When I launched my swing keel 26 the other day the truck was farther in the water than I wishes as there is no extended tongue on the trailer. Has anyone ever used the system of detaching from the towing vehicle and placing a large wheel on the ...

Launching
Just launched my new 26 Simplicity. As there in no extended tongue on the trailer (and no option to install one), has anyone installed a wheel on the tongue to allow further immersion of the trailer. Similar to that on a full keeled boat. I felt bad to immerse the tailpipe of the rental truck. Thank...
